LonePirate Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 32 minutes ago, baumer said: This is the kind of film that is basically extinct now. It's an adult film, made for adults, that has ageing female stars and is dependent on legs, not opening weekend. It's a risky movie for sure, but one that will show profit, just not a ton of it. But it's one of my favourite films of the year and I have recommended it to everyone. Most people I know have enjoyed it. It's also funny, timely and it speaks to a generation that doesn't have strong numbers at this site. It's no wonder most here thought it would go quietly into the night. I agree with all of those sentiments. It’s an enjoyable film that deserves all of its success. It has not opened in foreign markets so I have no idea how it will fare overall or how much of a profit it will make. It will definitely find a home playing endlessly on cable television, though. BC also presents the less visible half of the current Hollywood success model. Obviously, there are the big budget spectacle films targeting a WW gross of $300M+. Then there are the BC type of films - films with much smaller budgets aiming for $40M-$60M domestically and where box office grosses, home video and then television rights allow the studio to make a respectable return on their investment. Breaking In, Overboard, Hereditary and Love, Simon are other films in that less visible half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW collapse in China, and Asia in general (minus Japan) and Latin America is complete embarrassment, there's no way around it. @meriodejaneiro Thanks for the breakdown!

Barnack Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, Valonqar said: Titanic was just an amazing gamble. That genre was literally dead and Titanic didn't revive it but became a one-off sensation. I guess studios were scared of the risk still. Ditto Great Gatsby. It did amazing but didn't set the trend of lavishly-produced counter-programming to summer blockbusters. It did brought some copy-cat like most major success will do, love story told among a big well known historical event with a bit of action were green light just after, Micheal Bay Pearl Harbor being maybe the best known example (they event used some of the set than Titanic I think). Gladiator first draft appear just after Titanic also, not sure if it was 100% coincidence. Great Gatsby is one of the biggest best-seller and most loved book of all time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books A bit above Hunger Games/Fault in our stars, a over 100m budget movie like Great Gatsby (or Life of Pi) would be hard to greenlight without being based of books with a giant world fanbase and it will be hard to set a trend. A better production value Murder on the Orient express would have been close I guess. Edited June 28, 2018 by Barnack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJaros Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 A $10m Wednesday with $370m already in the bank? I2 is showing incredible strength. I didn't think $500m DOM was possible, but it clearly is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pretty decent chance at passing 2016's record as well, though the end of the year doesn't have anything like TFA all the little movies should add up nicely.
